Overview

Business Overview

We are a global specialty property and casualty reinsurer headquartered in the Cayman Islands, with an underwriting and investment strategy that we believe differentiates us from most of our competitors. Our goal is to build long-term shareholder value by providing risk management solutions to the insurance, reinsurance, and other risk marketplaces. Refer to “Part 1, Item 1. Business” for additional information.

We earned a net income of $86.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of $61.5 million, or 243% over the prior year, as a result of favorable reinsurance pricing conditions with lower losses from catastrophe and weather-related events (collectively referred as “CAT losses”), coupled with favorable rising interest rate environment for our cash and fixed maturity investments (relating to the Lloyd’s syndicates) as well as favorable foreign exchange movement in 2023.

The following is a summary of our financial performance for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the prior year:

•Gross premiums written was $636.8 million, an increase of 13.1%;

•Net premiums earned was $583.1 million, an increase of 24.2%;

•Net underwriting income (1) was $32.0 million, compared to an underwriting loss of $10.7 million;

•Total investment income was $66.1 million, a decrease of 4.2% (include 9.4% net return from our investment in SILP, compared to 25.3%);

•Diluted EPS was $2.50, an increase of 242%; and

•Fully diluted book per share(1) was $16.74, an increase of 16.8%.

(1) See “Key Financial Measures and Non-GAAPMeasures” section of this MD&A.

Outlook and Trends

Following strong pricing improvements at the January 1, 2023 renewal season and throughout 2023 (primarily in property catastrophe, aviation, war and terror and marine), we witnessed a more disciplined but still attractive January 1, 2024 renewal season. In the property market we noted additional capacity entering the market, but we still saw favorable market conditions to grow our book. On our Specialty and FAL books, we noted a healthy amount of competitive interest but we were successful in securing the accounts we targeted for both renewal and new business with some modest rate increases.

The global inflationary pressures have abated from their recent highs. However, we believe loss cost inflation will continue to be a significant concern within the (re)insurance industry, as it can add uncertainty to the cost of claims, particularly for classes of business with long payout tails. As a result, it creates pricing challenges for new business and valuation challenges in claims reserves. We continue to manage these concerns and risks in multiple ways:

•Our underwriting strategy focuses on relatively shorter-tailed business, which is inherently less exposed to inflation than longer-tailed lines. We estimate the payout duration of our existing reserves at less than three years.

•We incorporate inflation assumptions in all our pricing and reassess these assumptions frequently.

•We are minimizing our exposure to classes that are experiencing severe supply-chain-driven inflation.

The rising interest rate environment over the last two years has had a mixed impact on our financial results. The Term Loans we secured in 2023 are partially exposed to fluctuations in the SOFR interest rate, and we stand to benefit if the interest rates start decreasing. The higher interest rates have improved the yield on our restricted cash and cash equivalents and our funds held at Lloyd’s. To the extent interest rates begin to decrease, we may see some of these trends reverse. The SILP investment portfolio is positioned to benefit from an inflationary environment.

Revenues and Expenses

Revenues

We derive our revenues from two principal sources:

•premiums from reinsurance on property and casualty business assumed (net of any premiums ceded) - see “Critical Accounting Estimates” section of this MD&A; and

51

Link to Table of Contents

•income from investments, including:

•income (or loss) generated from our investment in SILP, net of management fee and performance compensation;

•gains (or losses) from our other investments, including Innovations-related investments; and

•interest income on our cash and cash equivalents and FAL.

In addition, we may from time to time derive other income from foreign exchange gains (or losses) relating to underwriting balances, net investment income from Lloyd’s syndicates, fees generated from advisory services, and fees relating to overrides, profit commissions, and fees due upon the early termination of contracts.

Expenses

Our expenses consist primarily of the following:

● underwriting losses and LAE;

● acquisition costs;

● general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses; and

● interest expense on deposit-accounted contracts and debt.

The extent of our net losses and LAE incurred is a function of the amount and type of reinsurance contracts we write and the loss experience of the underlying coverage. Refer to “Critical Accounting Estimates” section of this MD&A.

Acquisition costs consist primarily of brokerage fees, ceding commissions, premium taxes, profit commissions, letters of credit and trust fees, and federal excise taxes. We amortize deferred acquisition costs relating to successfully bound reinsurance contracts over the related contract term.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and benefits and related costs, including costs associated with our incentive compensation plan, bonuses, and stock compensation expenses. General and administrative expenses also include professional fees (non-claim related), travel and entertainment, information technology, rent, and other general operating costs. General and administrative expenses reported in our consolidated statements of operations include both underwriting and corporate expenses.

Deposit interest expense relates to the accretion costs for deposit-accounted contracts that did not meet the risk transfer condition for reinsurance accounting under U.S. GAAP.

Interest expense consists of interest paid and accrued on our debt and the amortization of the related deferred financing costs.

Key Financial Measures and Non-GAAP Measures

Management uses certain key financial measures, some of which are not prescribed under U.S. GAAP rules and standards (“non-GAAP financial measures”), to evaluate our financial performance, financial position, and the change in shareholder value. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure, as defined in SEC Regulation G, is a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented under U.S. GAAP. We believe that these measures, which may be calculated or defined differently by other companies, provide consistent and comparable metrics of our business performance to help shareholders understand performance trends and facilitate a more thorough understanding of the Company’s business. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed as substitutes for those determined under U.S. GAAP.

The key non-GAAP financial measures used in this Annual Report are:

•Fully diluted book value per share; and

•Net underwriting income (loss).

These non-GAAP financial measures are described below.

52

Link to Table of Contents

Fully Diluted Book Value Per Share

Our primary financial goal is to increase fully diluted book value per share over the long term. We use fully diluted book value as a financial measure in our incentive compensation plan.

We believe that long-term growth in fully diluted book value per share is the most relevant measure of our financial performance because it provides management and investors a yardstick to monitor the shareholder value generated. Fully diluted book value per share may also help our investors, shareholders, and other interested parties form a basis of comparison with other companies within the property and casualty reinsurance industry. Fully diluted book value per share should not be viewed as a substitute for the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure, which in our view is the basic book value per share.

We calculate basic book value per share as (a) ending shareholders' equity, divided by (b) the total ordinary shares issued and outstanding, as reported in the consolidated financial statements. In prior years, we calculated the basic book value per share by modifying the denominator to exclude unearned performance-based restricted shares granted after December 31, 2021. We have revised this calculation in 2023 to eliminate the basic book value per share non-GAAP financial measure and have restated the 2022 comparative basic book value per share in the table below and elsewhere in this Annual Report to conform with the current presentation.

Fully diluted book value per share represents basic book value per share combined with any dilutive impact of in-the-money stock options and all outstanding restricted stock units “RSUs”. We believe these adjustments better reflect the ultimate dilution to our shareholders.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the fully diluted book value per share to basic book value per share (the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure):

Increase in fully diluted book value per share ($) $ 2.41 $ 0.34

Increase in fully diluted book value per share (%) 16.8 % 2.4 %

Net Underwriting Income (Loss)

One way that we evaluate the Company’s underwriting performance is by measuring net underwriting income (loss). We do not use premiums written as a measure of performance. Net underwriting income (loss) is a performance measure used by management to evaluate the fundamentals underlying the Company’s underwriting operations. We believe that the use of net underwriting income (loss) enables investors and other users of the Company’s financial information to analyze our performance in a manner similar to how management analyzes performance. Management also believes this measure follows industry practice and allows the users of financial information to compare the Company’s performance with that of our industry peer group.

53

Link to Table of Contents

Net underwriting income (loss) is considered a non-GAAP financial measure because it excludes items used to calculate net income before taxes under U.S. GAAP. We calculate net underwriting income (loss) as net premiums earned less net loss and loss adjustment expenses, acquisition costs, underwriting expenses (including related G&A expenses), and deposit interest expense. The measure excludes, on a recurring basis: (1) investment income (loss); (2) other income (expense) not related to underwriting, including foreign exchange gains or losses, and Lloyd’s interest income and expense; (3) corporate G&A expenses; and (4) interest expense. We exclude total investment income or loss, foreign exchange gains or losses, and Lloyd’s interest income or expense as we believe these items are influenced by market conditions and other factors unrelated to underwriting decisions. Additionally, we exclude corporate G&A and interest expenses because these costs are generally fixed and not incremental to or directly related to our underwriting operations. We believe all of these amounts are largely independent of our underwriting process, and including them could hinder the analysis of trends in our underwriting operations. Net underwriting income (loss) should not be viewed as a substitute for U.S. GAAP net income before income taxes.

The reconciliations of net underwriting income (loss) to income (loss) before income taxes (the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure) on a consolidated basis are shown below:

The following provides further details on the significant variances for theyear ended December 31, 2023, compared to2022.

Overview

For the year ended December 31, 2023, fully diluted book value per share increased by $2.41, or 16.8%, to $16.74 per share and basic book value per share increased by $2.42, or 16.8%, to $16.87 per share since December 31, 2022 driven by strong underwriting performance.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, our net income increased by $61.5 million to $86.8 million, driven mainly by the following:

•Underwriting income: Increased by $42.7 million to $32.0 million, primarily driven by combined ratio improving 7.8 percentage points mainly due to lower CAT losses and favorable pricing in 2023, partially offset by an increase in adverse loss development from prior years. For further information on CAT losses and prior year loss development, refer to Note 7 - Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves of the consolidated financial statements.

•Investment income: Declined by $2.9 million to $66.1 million. While we benefited from the rising U.S. interest rates on our cash and short-term investment holdings, this was offset by a decline in SILP’s net income. SILP generated a net return of 9.4% in 2023, compared to 25.3% in 2022.

•Foreign exchange gains: Increased by $17.6 million driven mainly by the strengthening of the U.S. dollar over the pound sterling.

•Other income: Increased by $12.1 million driven primarily by an increase in investment income on funds withheld by third party Lloyd’s syndicates. The Lloyd’s syndicates invest a portion of these funds in fixed-maturity securities and investment funds. We record our share of the investment income and fair value adjustments on these securities when the syndicates report them to us, generally on a quarter in arrears.

•Corporate expenses: Increased by $5.9 million primarily driven by $4.3 million of severance relating to the separation agreement entered with our former CEO. For further details, see “Separation Agreement with CEO” in Note 15 - “Related Party Transactions” in the consolidated financial statements.

Underwriting Results by Segment

For our Property and Casualty Reinsurance segment, we analyze it based on three lines of business: “property,” “casualty,” and “other.”

Gross Premiums Written

Details of gross premiums written are provided in the following table:

Year ended December 31

As a result of our underwriting philosophy, the total premiums we write and the mix of premiums between property, casualty, and other business, may vary significantly from period to period depending on the market opportunities we identify.

56

Link to Table of Contents

Our gross premiums written increased by $73.6 million, or 13.1%, compared to the same period in 2022. The following table provides a further analysis of this overall increase:

Gross Premiums Written

Increase (decrease) ($ in millions) % change Explanation

Premiums Ceded

For the year ended December 31, 2023, ceded premiums were $42.8 million, or 6.7% of gross premiums written, compared to $33.4 million, or 5.9% of gross premiums written, for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was mainly due to purchasing an aviation quota share retrocession coverage, as well as an additional $10.0 million excess of loss coverage to manage our exposure to marine and energy.

Net Premiums Written

Details of net premiums written are provided in the following table:

Year ended December 31

Our net premiums written increased by $64.3 million, or 12.1%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The movement in net premiums written resulted from the changes in gross premiums written and ceded during the periods.

57

Link to Table of Contents

Net Premiums Earned

Details of net premiums earned are provided in the following table:

Year ended December 31

Net premiums earned increased by $113.7 million or 24.2%, compared to the prior year. The change in net premiums earned is primarily a function of the amount and timing of net premiums written during the current and prior periods, coupled with the mix of business written in the form of excess of loss versus proportional contracts.

Loss and LAE Incurred, Net

The components of the loss ratio were as follows:

Year ended December 31

2023 2022 Increase / (decrease) in loss ratio points

Current accident year loss ratio 59.8 % 67.4 % (7.6)

Prior year reserve development ratio 1.9 % — % 1.9

Current accident year loss ratio improved by 7.6 points for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022 primarily due to 3.6 points in lower CAT losses, coupled with favorable pricing and change in business mix in 2023.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, prior year adverse loss development was 1.9%, compared to a negligible amount in 2022. Refer to Note 7Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reservesto the consolidated financial statements for further details on prior year loss developments.

Acquisition Costs, Net

Our total acquisition costs increased by 18.0% to $168.9 million, compared to 2022, mainly due to growth in net premiums earned, offset partially by lower broker commissions from excess of loss contracts compared to proportional treaties. For the year ended December 31, 2023, net profit commission expense of $14.8 million, (2022: $16.0 million) was included in our total acquisition costs.

The acquisition cost ratios by line of business were as follows:

G&A Expenses

The breakdown of our G&A expenses between under underwriting and corporate functions was as follows:

Year ended December 31

G&A expenses increased by $11.6 million, or 36.8%, compared to the prior year. The increase was driven by:

•Underwriting expenses: Increased by $5.8 million, or 41.8%, mainly due to scaling up as we added to our talent pool, which contributed to the growth in gross premiums written in 2023. Increase in allowance for credit losses relating to certain reinsurance balances receivable and loss recoverable also accounted for the increase in underwriting expenses. The increase was partially offset by lower legal and other professional fees. See above “Ratio Analysis” for a discussion on our underwriting expense ratio.

•Corporate expenses: Increased by $5.9 million or 32.9%, driven mainly by $6.4 million of severance related costs compared to $1.1 million in the prior year. The 2023 severance costs included a $1.5 million non-cash charge relating to the accelerated vesting of the former CEO’s restricted shares as well as the modified grant relating to his unvested performance-based restricted shares. The remaining increase was mainly due to an increase in personnel costs, including an increase in accrued incentive compensation costs in light of the Company’s performance in 2023. The incentive compensation cost for 2022 was nil due to the net underwriting loss. This increase in corporate expenses was partially offset by lower D&O insurance expense.

Total Investment Income

Total investment income incorporates (i) changes in the net asset value of our investment in SILP, (ii) interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents, including the restricted funds pledged as collateral to our clients, and (iii) gains (or losses) and interest on our portfolio of Innovations investments. We expect our total investment income, including any change in the net asset value of our investment in SILP, to fluctuate from period to period.

A summary of our total investment income is as follows:

Year ended December 31

Net realized and unrealized gains on other investments (see Note 4) 1,738 9,673

61

Link to Table of Contents

Net investment-related income

Our net investment-related income increased by $23.2 million or 164.3% compared to 2022 mainly due to rising U.S. interest rates, which resulted in an increase in interest income from our cash and cash equivalent (including restricted cash), partially offset by lower average outstanding balance in 2023. The U.S. Federal Reserve hiked its benchmark rate 11 times for a total of 5.25 percentage points since March 2022. Our Innovations-related investments had less gains in 2023 in part due to less favorable pricing conditions from completed financing rounds by some of our Innovation investees compared to 2022.

Share of SILP’s Net Income

Our share of SILP’s net income decreased by $26.1 million in 2023 compared to 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2023, SILP reported a net investment return of 9.4%, compared to 25.3% for 2022. The following table provides a breakdown of the gross and net investment returns:

Year ended December 31

Long portfolio gains (losses) 32.1 % — %

Short portfolio gains (losses) (22.1) 26.1

Macro gains (losses) 3.7 3.8

Other income and expenses 1 (3.2) (1.8)

Gross investment return 10.5 % 28.1 %

Net investment return 1 9.4 % 25.3 %

1 “Other income and expenses” excludes performance compensation but includes management fees. “Net investment return” incorporates both of these amounts.For further information about management fees and performance compensation, refer to Note 15 “Related Party Transactions” of the consolidated financial statements.

The most significant contributors to SILP’s net investment return for the year ended December 31, 2023 were long positions in Green Brick Partners Inc., CONSOL Energy Inc., and a S&P 500 / U.S. interest rate derivative position. For the same period, the most significant detractors were three single-name short positions.

Each month, we post on our website (www.greenlightre.com) the returns from our investment in SILP.

Interest Expense

Our interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased by $1.1 million to $5.3 million compared to 2022. The increase was driven primarily by the increase in borrowing cost for new Term Loans, which were partially used to repay the outstanding Convertible Notes (see Note 9 “Debt and Credit Facilities” to the consolidated financial statements). The interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 included $0.6 million of unrealized loss on the interest rate swaps used to partially hedge the Term Loans.

Income Taxes

For the year ended December 31, 2023, we incurred net income tax expense of $0.1 million, net of a $2.3 million reversal of deferred tax asset provision based on management’s conclusion that it was more likely than not that the Company will fully realize the deferred tax asset. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we had a net income tax recovery of $0.8 million primarily due to a tax refund relating to Verdant. For further information, see Note 14 “Income Taxes” to the consolidated financial statements.

At December 31, 2023, our total investments increased by $83.7 million, or 33.7%, to $332.2 million from December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily driven from net additional contributions into SILP, coupled with the net investment return in 2023.

Investments in SILP

DME Advisors reports the composition of SILP’s portfolio on a delta-adjusted basis, which it believes is the appropriate manner to assess the exposure and profile of investments and reflects how it manages the portfolio. An option’s delta is the option price’s sensitivity to the underlying stock (or commodity) price. The delta-adjusted basis is the number of shares or contracts underlying the option multiplied by the delta and the underlying stock (or commodity) price.

The following table represents the composition of SILP’s investments:

Long % Short % Long % Short %

Private and unlisted equity securities 2.0 — 3.2 —

Debt instruments 0.3 — 0.6 —

The above exposure analysis does not include cash (U.S. dollar and foreign currencies), gold and other commodities, credit default swaps, sovereign debt, foreign currency derivatives, interest rate derivatives, inflation swaps and other macro positions. Under this methodology, a total return swap’s exposure is reported at its full notional amount and options are reported at their delta-adjusted basis. At December 31, 2023, SILP’s exposure to gold on a delta-adjusted basis was 11.2% (2022: 15.2%).

Debt Instruments 0.3 — 0.3

At December 31, 2023, 95.0% of SILP’s portfolio was valued based on quoted prices in actively traded markets (Level 1), 3.6% was composed of instruments valued based on observable inputs other than quoted prices (Level 2), and a nominal amount was composed of instruments valued based on non-observable inputs (Level 3). At December 31, 2023, 1.4% of SILP’s portfolio consisted of private equity funds valued using the funds’ net asset values as a practical expedient.

Other Investments

The other investment holdings relate to private investments made by Innovations. During 2023, we made $7.1 million of new private investments compared to $13.2 million in the prior year. While we manage a diversified Innovations-related investment portfolio with approximately 40 holdings, our top five holdings accounted for 67% of the total carrying value as a result of favorable fair value remeasurement since our initial investments, net of impairment charges. For further information, see Note 4 “Other Investments” of the consolidated financial statements.

The certificate of deposit was redeemed in 2023 to provide cash collateral for the new Loan Facility (see “Debt” below).

Restricted cash and cash equivalents

We use our restricted cash and cash equivalents primarily for funding trusts and letters of credit issued to our ceding insurers. Our restricted cash decreased by $63.7 million, or 9.5%, from $668.3 million at December 31, 2022, to $604.6 million at December 31, 2023, primarily due to release of collateral from our ceding insurers relating to legacy contracts in run-off. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we also pledged $10.0 million collateral as security for the new Loan Facility (see “Debt” below).

Reinsurance balances receivable

Our reinsurance balances receivable increased by $113.8 million, or 22.5%, to $619.4 million from $505.6 million at December 31, 2022. This increase was driven primarily by premiums held by Lloyd’s syndicates through GCM. See “Concentration of Credit Risk - Reinsurance Balances Receivable, net” in Note 16 “Commitments and Contingencies” to the consolidated financial statements.

Loss and LAE Reserves; Loss and LAE Recoverable

Our reserves for loss and LAE by lines of business were as follows:

Our total gross loss and LAE reserves increased by $106.1 million, or 19.1%, to $661.6 million from $555.5 million at December 31, 2022. See Note 7 “Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves” of the consolidated financial statements for a summary of changes in outstanding loss and LAE reserves and a description of prior period loss developments.

Our total loss and LAE recoverable increased by $12.4 million, or 94.0%, to $25.7 million from $13.2 million at December 31, 2022. See Note 8 “Retrocession” of the consolidated financial statements for a description of the credit risk associated with our retrocessionaires.

For most of the contracts we write, defined limits of liability limit our risk exposure. Once each contract’s limit of liability has been reached, we have no further exposure to additional losses from that contract. However, certain contracts, particularly quota share contracts covering first-dollar exposure, do not contain aggregate limits.

Our property and Lloyd’s business, and to a lesser extent our casualty and other business, incorporate contracts that contain natural peril loss exposure. We currently monitor our catastrophe loss exposure in terms of our PML (net of retrocession and reinstatement premiums). We anticipate that our PMLs will vary from period to period depending upon the modeled simulated losses and the composition of our in-force book of business.

We monitor our natural peril PMLs on a worldwide basis, with a particular focus on our peak peril regions. When these perils consist of a large geographic area, we split them into sub-regions, where the underlying geographic components can also be considered individual peril zones.

For our natural catastrophe PMLs, we utilize the output of catastrophe models at the 1-in-250-year return period. The 1-in-250-year return period PML means that we believe there is a 0.4% probability that, in any given year, an occurrence of a natural catastrophe will lead to losses exceeding the stated estimate.

It is important to note that PMLs are best estimates based on the modeled data available for each underlying risk. As a result, we cannot provide assurance that any actual event will align with the modeled event or that actual losses from events similar to the modeled events will not vary materially from the modeled event PML.

Our PML estimates incorporate all significant exposure from our reinsurance operations, including coverage for property, marine and energy, motor, and catastrophe workers’ compensation exposures.

At January 1, 2024, our estimated largest PML at a 1-in-250-year return period for a single event and in aggregate was $89.7 million and $97.0 million, respectively, both relating to the peril of North Atlantic Hurricane, compared to $77.5 million and $83.5 million, respectively, at January 1, 2023. We have increased our PMLs in response to favorable market conditions and attractive opportunities, coupled with increased surplus.

Debt

Our total debt decreased by $7.3 million, or 9.0%, to $73.3 million from $80.5 million at December 31, 2022. During 2023, we repurchased $17.5 million of Convertible Notes for a marginal realized gain. Further, we repaid the remaining $63.4 million of Convertible Notes, including accrued interest, which matured on August 1, 2023. To repay this debt, we entered into a $75.0 million Loan Facility with a group of banks. In connection with this Loan Facility, we contractually agreed to hedge 50% of the floating rate Term Loans for the duration of the Loan Facility. Refer to Note 9 “Debt and Credit Facilities” of the consolidated financial statements for further information.

Total shareholders’ equity

Total shareholders’ equity increased by $93.0 million to $596.1 million, compared to $503.1 million at December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to the net income of $86.8 million reported for the year. For details of other movements in shareholders’ equity, see the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Liquidity is a measure of a company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet the short-term and long-term cash requirements of its business operations. We manage liquidity at the holding company and operating subsidiary level.

Holding Company

Greenlight Capital Re is a holding company with no operations of its own and its assets consist primarily of investments in its subsidiaries. Accordingly, Greenlight Capital Re’s future cash flows depend on the availability of dividends or other statutorily permissible distributions, such as returns of capital, from its subsidiaries. The ability to pay dividends and/or distributions is limited by:

•the applicable laws and regulations of the countries in which Greenlight Capital Re’s subsidiaries operate (see Note 18 “Statutory Requirements” to the consolidated financial statements);

•the need to maintain adequate capital levels to support our reinsurance operations; and

•the need to preserve our current “A- (Excellent)” rating with a stable outlook by A.M. Best.

As a holding company, Greenlight Capital Re has minimal continuing cash needs, most of which are related to the payment of corporate and general administrative expenses and interest expenses. Our current policy is to retain earnings to support the growth of our business. We currently do not expect to pay dividends on our ordinary shares.

66

Link to Table of Contents

We anticipate positive cash flows from operations (underwriting activities and investment income) to be sufficient to cover cash outflows under most loss scenarios in the near term. Based on expected cash flows from operations, financing arrangements and redemptions from related party investment fund as needed (subject to three day’s notice to the general partner),we believe we have sufficient liquidity to cover our working capital requirements and other contractual obligations and commitments through the foreseeable future.

Operating Subsidiaries

Our sources of funds from operating subsidiaries consist primarily of premium receipts (net of brokerage and ceding commissions), investment income, and other income. We use cash from our operations to pay losses and loss adjustment expenses, profit commissions, interest, and G&A expenses. Our reinsurance business inherently provides liquidity as premiums are received well in advance of the time claims are paid. However, the amount of cash required to fund loss payments can fluctuate significantly from period to period due to the low frequency / high severity nature of certain types of business we write.

The following table summarizes our sources and uses of funds:

Year ended December 31

Total cash provided by (used in):

Effect of currency exchange on cash(1) 100 59

(1) Cash includes unrestricted and restricted cash and cash equivalents - see Note 5 of the consolidated financial statements.

Cash provided by operating activities

The increase in cash provided by operating activities was driven mainly by $42.7 million improved underwriting income, coupled with the ebb and flow from our underwriting activities, which may vary significantly from period to period depending on the mix of business, the nature of underwriting opportunities available and volume of claims submitted to us by our cedents.

Cash used in investing activities

The increase in cash used for investing activities was driven mainly by the net change in our investment in SILP where we made a net contribution of $52.0 million during 2023 compared to a net redemption of $60.2 million during 2022. During 2023, we deployed $6.1 million less on Innovations-related investments compared to 2022, and collected $6.0 million of proceeds from a matured term deposit.

Cash used in financing activities

The decrease in cash used in our financing activities was due to drawing $74.1 million from the new Loan Facility, offset by the repayment of the remaining Convertible Notes on August 1, 2023, in addition to the partial repurchase of these Convertible Notes at a discount in 2023. In 2022, we had repurchased $19.8 million of our Convertible Notes.

Capital Resources

The following table summarizes our capital structure:

Ratio of debt to shareholders’ equity 12 % 16 %

The debt to shareholders’ equity provides an indication of our leverage and capital structure, along with some insights into our financial strength. In addition to the above capital, we also have LOC facilities to support our reinsurance business operations where we are not licensed or admitted as a reinsurer.

The following is a summary of the changes in our capital:

Debt

At December 31, 2023, our debt consisted of the new $75.0 million Loan Facility used principally to repay the Convertible Notes that were outstanding at December 31, 2022, net of repurchases during 2023. We also made the initial loan installment repayment on the Loan Facility. The facility will mature on August 1, 2026.

Ordinary Shares

At December 31, 2023, there were 35,336,732 outstanding ordinary shares, an increase of 512,671 since December 31, 2022, due to restricted shares granted to our employees and non-executive directors.

While our Board of Directors renewed the $25.0 million share repurchase plan in 2023, we did not repurchase any ordinary shares for year ended December 31, 2023 (see “Item 5 - Market for Registrants’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities”).

We expect that the existing capital base and internally generated funds will be sufficient to implement our business strategy for the foreseeable future. However, to provide us with flexibility and timely access to public capital markets should we require additional capital for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, or other general corporate purposes, we have filed a Form S-3 registration statement, which expires in July 2024.

Secured LOC Facilities

At December 31, 2023, our total LOC capacity was $489.0 million, compared to $289.0 million at December 31, 2022. The increase was due to a new LOC credit facility established to accommodate future growth and to diversify the concentration risk of having a single facility. At December 31, 2023, we had $290.7 million LOCs outstanding compared to $203.9 million at December 31, 2022. The increase is driven by, among other factors, the amount of unearned premiums, development of loss reserves, the expansion of our business and loss experience of that business.

The amount drawn from the LOC facilities are secured by cash collateral, reported as restricted cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

At December 31, 2023, our contractual obligations and commitments by period due were as follows:

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our consolidated financial statements contain certain amounts that are inherently subjective and have required management to make assumptions and best estimates to determine reported values. If certain factors, including those described in “Part I, Item IA. — Risk Factors,” cause actual events or results to differ materially from our underlying assumptions or estimates, there could be a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity. We believe the following accounting policies affect the more significant estimates used to prepare our consolidated financial statements. We have summarized the descriptions below for clarity. We have included a more detailed description of our significant accounting policies and recently issued accounting standards in Note 2 “Significant Accounting Policies” to the consolidated financial statements.

Premium Revenues

Gross Premiums Written

We record our property and casualty reinsurance premiums as premiums written based on our best estimate of the ultimate premiums for the contract period. Our estimates are based on actuarial pricing models and information received from ceding companies. Further, we record reinsurance premiums so long as they meet the risk transfer criteria under U.S. GAAP (see “Deposit Contracts” below).

Excess of loss reinsurance contracts typically state premiums as a percentage of the subject premiums written by the client, subject to a minimum and deposit premium. The minimum and deposit premium is generally based on an estimate of subject premiums expected to be written by the client during the contract term. The minimum and deposit premium is reported initially as premiums written and adjusted, if necessary, in subsequent periods once the actual subject premium is known.

For quota share (also known as proportional) contracts, we record premiums in the same periods in which the underlying insurance contracts are written, based on cession statements from cedents. We typically receive these statements monthly or quarterly, depending on the terms specified in each contract. For any reporting lag, we estimate premiums written based on the portion of the estimated ultimate premiums relating to the risks bound during the lag period.

For multi-year contracts, reinsurance premiums are recorded at the inception of the contract based on our best estimate of total premiums to be received. Premiums are recognized on an annual basis for multi-year contracts where the cedants have the ability to unilaterally commute or cancel coverage within the term of the contract.

We regularly review premium estimates. Such review includes our experience with the ceding companies, managing general underwriters, familiarity with each market, the timing of the reported information, a comparison of reported premiums to expected ultimate premiums, along with a review of the aging and collection of premiums. We evaluate the appropriateness of the premium estimates on the basis of these reviews and record any adjustments to these estimates in the period in which they are determined. Changes in premium estimates, including premium receivable on both excess of loss and quota share contracts, are not unusual and may result in significant adjustments in any period. A portion of amounts included in “Reinsurance balances receivable” in the consolidated balance sheets represent estimated premiums written, net of commissions and brokerage, that are not currently due based on the terms of the underlying contracts. Additional premiums due on a contract with no remaining coverage period are earned in full when written.

Certain contracts provide for reinstatement premiums in the event of a loss. Reinstatement premiums are written and earned when a triggering loss event occurs.

Net Premiums Earned

We earn premiums over the risk coverage period. Unearned premiums represent the unexpired portion of reinsurance provided. Changes in circumstances subsequent to the inception of contracts can impact the earnings period. For instance, when exposure limits for a reinsurance contract are reached, any associated unearned premiums are fully earned.

69

Link to Table of Contents

Excess of loss reinsurance contracts are generally written on a “losses occurring” or “claims made” basis over the term of the policy. Accordingly, premiums are earned evenly over the contract term, which is generally 12 months.

Line slip or proportional insurance/reinsurance contracts are generally written on a “risks attaching” basis, covering claims that relate to the underlying policies written during the terms of these contracts. As the underlying business incepts throughout the contract term, which is generally one year, and the underlying business generally has a one year coverage period, these premiums are generally earned evenly over a 24-month period from inception.

Deposit Contracts

If we determine that a reinsurance contract does not transfer sufficient risk to merit reinsurance accounting treatment, we report the premium we receive as a deposit liability. Similarly, we report the premium we pay as a deposit asset for ceded contracts that do not transfer sufficient risk to merit reinsurance accounting. Any income and expense on deposit-accounted contracts is calculated using the interest method and recorded in the consolidated statements of operations under “Other income (expense)” and “Deposit interest expense,” respectively.

Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves

Estimating our loss and LAE reserves involves a considerable degree of judgment, and our estimates as of any given date are inherently uncertain. Estimating loss and LAE reserves requires us to make assumptions regarding reporting and development patterns, frequency and severity trends, claims settlement practices, potential changes in legal environments, inflation, loss amplification, foreign exchange movements, and other factors. These estimates and judgments are based on numerous considerations and are often revised as (i) we receive changes in loss amounts reported by ceding companies and brokers; (ii) we obtain additional information, experience, or other data; (iii) we develop new or improved methodologies; or (iv) we observe changes in the legal environment.

Our loss and LAE reserves relating to short-tail property risks are typically reported to us and settled more promptly than those relating to long-tail risks. However, the timeliness of loss reporting can be affected by such factors as the nature of the event causing the loss, the location of the loss, whether the loss is from policies in force with primary insurers or with reinsurers, and where our exposure falls within the cedent’s overall reinsurance program.

Our loss and LAE reserves are composed of case reserves (based on claims reported to us) and IBNR reserves, including the associated claims handling costs.

We determine case reserve estimates based on loss reports received. We determine our IBNR reserve estimates using standard actuarial methods and a combination of our own historical and current loss experience, insurance industry loss experience, assessments of pricing adequacy trends, and our professional judgment. In estimating our IBNR reserve, we estimate the total ultimate loss and LAE we expect to incur and subtract paid claims and case reserves.

The nature and extent of our judgment in the reserving process depend in part upon the type of business. Some of our property treaty reinsurance contracts represent business with a low frequency of claims occurrence and a high potential loss severity, such as claims arising from natural catastrophes. Given the nature of these events, traditional actuarial reserving methods may not be reliable indicators of the final outcome. As such, for contracts or losses of this type, we estimate the ultimate cost associated with a single loss event rather than perform analysis on the historical development patterns of past events to estimate the ultimate losses for an entire accident year. We estimate our reserves for these large events on a by-contract basis by reviewing policies with known or potential exposure to a particular loss event.

For non-catastrophe losses, we apply standard actuarial methodologies in setting reserves, including paid and incurred loss development, Bornheutter-Ferguson, burning cost, and frequency and severity techniques. We supplement our analysis with industry loss ratio and development pattern information in conjunction with our own experience. The weight given to a particular method will depend on many factors, including the homogeneity within the class of business, the volume of losses, the maturity of the accident year, and the length of the expected development tail. For example, the expected loss ratio method assumes that the ratio of premiums and losses remains constant. In contrast, development methods rely on observable patterns within reported losses, both historical and newly reported, to establish a view of the ultimate loss incurred. Therefore, as an accident year matures, we may migrate from an expected loss ratio method to an incurred development method.

As a predominantly broker-market reinsurer for both excess-of-loss and proportional contracts, we rely on loss information reported to brokers by primary insurers who, in turn, must estimate their losses at the policy level, often based on incomplete and changing information. The information we receive varies by cedent and may include paid losses, estimated case reserves, and an estimated provision for IBNR reserves. Reserving practices and data-reporting quality differ among ceding

70

Link to Table of Contents

companies, which adds further uncertainty to our estimation of ultimate losses. The nature and extent of information received from ceding companies and brokers also vary widely depending on the type of coverage, the contractual reporting terms (which are affected by market conditions and practices), and other factors. Due to the lack of standardization of the terms and conditions of reinsurance contracts, the differences in coverage provided to individual clients, and the tendency of those coverages to change rapidly in response to market conditions, we cannot always reliably measure the ongoing economic impact of such uncertainties and inconsistencies.

Time lags are inherent in loss reporting, especially in the case of excess-of-loss reinsurance contracts. The time lags, coupled with the combined characteristics of low claim frequency and high claim severity on such contracts, make the available data less useful for predicting ultimate losses.

In the case of proportional contracts, we rely on an analysis of a cedent’s historical experience, industry information, and the underwriters’ professional judgment in estimating reserves. We also utilize ultimate loss ratio forecasts when reported by cedents and brokers, which are ordinarily subject to three to six-month lags for proportional business. Due to our reliance on ceding companies for claims reporting, our reserve estimates are highly dependent on ceding companies’ judgment. Furthermore, during the loss settlement period, which may last several years, additional facts regarding individual claims and trends will often become known, and case law may change, affecting ultimate expected losses.

Since we rely on ceding company data in establishing our loss and LAE reserves, we maintain procedures designed to mitigate the risk that such information is incomplete or inaccurate. These procedures include: (i) comparisons of expected premiums to reported premiums, which helps us to identify delinquent client periodic reports; (ii) ceding company audits to identify inaccurate or incomplete reporting of claims and ensure that claims are actively and appropriately managed in line with agreed protocols and settlement authority limits; and (iii) underwriting reviews to ascertain that the losses ceded are covered as provided under the contract terms. These procedures are incorporated in our internal controls and are regularly evaluated and amended as market conditions, risk factors, and unanticipated areas of exposure develop.

We engage an independent third-party actuarial firm to perform a quarterly reserve review and annually opine on the reasonableness and adequacy of the aggregate loss reserves. We provide the third-party actuarial firm with our pricing models, reserving analysis, and other data. The actuarial firm may also inquire about the various assumptions and estimates used in the reserving analysis. The actuarial firm independently creates its own reserving models based on industry loss information, augmented by client-specific loss information and independent assumptions and estimates. Based on various reserving methodologies that the actuarial firm considers appropriate, it creates a loss reserve estimate for each segment in the portfolio. It recommends an aggregate loss reserve, including IBNR. In the event of material differences between our aggregated booked reserves and the actuarial firm's recommended reserves, the reserving committee would be notified, with the reserves adjusted as deemed appropriate. To date, there have been no material differences resulting from the external actuary’s reviews requiring adjustments to our booked reserves.

We monitor the development of our prior-year losses during subsequent calendar years by comparing the actual reported losses against previous estimates and current expectations. The analysis of this loss development is important to the ongoing refinement of our reserving assumptions. Each additional year of loss experience with a given cedent provides additional insight into the accuracy and timeliness of previously reported information.

Estimating loss reserves for our book of longer-tail casualty reinsurance business, which we write on both a proportional and non-proportional basis, involves further uncertainties. In addition to the uncertainties described above, casualty business is generally subject to longer reporting lags than property business, and claims often take several years to settle. During this period, additional factors and trends will be revealed, and we may adjust our reserves accordingly. Therefore, any factors that extend the time until our cedents settle claims add uncertainty to the reserving process.

The uncertainties inherent in the reserving process and the potential for unforeseen developments, including changes in laws and the prevailing interpretation of policy terms, may result in our loss and LAE reserves being materially greater or less than the loss and LAE reserves we initially established. We reflect adjustments to our loss and LAE reserves in our financial results during the period they are determined. Changes to our prior year loss reserves will impact our current underwriting results by improving our results if the prior year reserves prove redundant or impairing our results if the prior year reserves prove insufficient.

We believe that our reserves for loss and LAE are sufficient to cover losses that fall within the terms of our policies and agreements with our insured and reinsured customers based on the methodologies used to estimate those reserves. However, we can provide no assurance that actual losses will not (i) be less than or (ii) exceed our total established reserves.

Investments

We carry our investment in SILP at fair value, based on the most recent net asset value obtained from SILP’s third-party administrator. Further, SILP’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021 were subject to an independent audit in which SILP’s external auditors issued an unqualified opinion for these years (see “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm” in the Exhibits).

Other investments in our consolidated balance sheets includes private and unlisted equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values. We determine these private equity securities’ carrying value based on the original cost, less impairment, plus or minus observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. At each reporting date, we qualitatively consider whether the investment is impaired on the basis of certain impairment indicators. If we determine that the equity security is impaired on the basis of the qualitative assessment and the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value, we recognize an impairment loss in “Net investment income (loss)” in the consolidated statements of operations. We determine realized gains and losses from other investments based on the specific identification method (by reference to cost or amortized cost, as appropriate). These gains and losses are included in “Net investment income (loss)” in the consolidated statements of operations.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our financial instruments are subject to a variety of market risks. The term market risk refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes from:

• equity price;

• commodity price;

• foreign currency; and

• interest rate (including credit spreads).

We performed a sensitivity analysis below to estimate the effects that market risk exposure could have on the future earnings, fair values or cash flows of our financial instruments. These represent forward-looking statements of market risk assuming certain adverse market conditions occur. Actual results in the future may differ materially from these projected results due to actual developments in the global financial markets.

Equity Price Risk

At December 31, 2023, our investments consisted primarily of an investment in SILP. Among SILP’s holdings are equity securities, the carrying values of which are based primarily on quoted market prices. Generally, market prices of common equity securities are subject to fluctuation, which could cause the amount to be realized upon closing a position to differ significantly from its current reported value. This risk is partly mitigated by the presence of both long and short equity securities as part of our investment strategy. At December 31, 2023, a 10% decline in the price of each of the underlying listed equity securities and equity-based derivative instruments would result in a $12.3 million (2022: $8.1 million) unrealized loss in our investment in SILP.

Commodity Price Risk

Generally, market prices of commodities are subject to fluctuation. SILP’s investments periodically include long or short investments in commodities or derivatives directly impacted by fluctuations in the prices of commodities. At December 31, 2023, SILP’s investments incorporate unhedged exposure to changes in gold, uranium, and crude oil prices.

The following table summarizes the net impact that a 10% movement in commodity prices would have on the fair value of SILP’s investment portfolio. The below table excludes the indirect effect that changes in commodity prices might have on equity securities in the SILP’s investment portfolio.

At December 31, 2023 ($ in millions)

10% increase in commodity prices 10% decrease in commodity prices

At December 31, 2022 ($ in millions)

Foreign Currency Risk

Underwriting Related

Certain of our reinsurance contracts are denominated in foreign currencies, whereby premiums are receivable and losses are payable in foreign currencies. Foreign currency exchange rate risk exists to the extent that our foreign currency reinsurance balances are more than (or less than) the corresponding foreign currency cash balances, and there is an increase (or decrease) in the exchange rate of that foreign currency.

While we do not seek to precisely match our liabilities under reinsurance policies that are payable in foreign currencies with investments denominated in such currencies, we continually monitor our exposure to potential foreign currency losses and may use foreign currency cash and cash equivalents or forward foreign currency exchange contracts to mitigate against adverse foreign currency movements.

Certain cedents, particularly the Lloyd’s syndicates, report to us in foreign currencies even though some or all of the underlying exposure is denominated in U.S. dollars. Our consolidated statements of operations may report a foreign exchange gain or loss associated with this exposure when reported by the cedents. Additionally, we may report foreign exchange gains or losses due to the mismatch between the currency exchange rates applied to foreign-denominated (i) monetary balances and (ii) non-monetary balances under U.S. GAAP. See Note 2 of the accompanying consolidatedfinancial statements for further information regarding our accounting treatment of foreign currency transactions.

We monitor our foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities on an “underlying exposure” basis without distinguishing between monetary and non-monetary balances.

The following table summarizes the net impact of a hypothetical 10% currency rate movement relating to our primary foreign denominated reinsurance net assets or liabilities (including balances held at Lloyd's):

Total foreign exchange gain (loss) $ (1,685) $ 1,685

73

Link to Table of Contents

Total foreign exchange gain (loss) $ 493 $ (493)

Investment in SILP

We may also be exposed to foreign currency risk through SILP’s underlying cash, forwards, options, and investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies. At December 31, 2023, most of SILP’s currency exposures resulting from foreign-denominated securities (longs and shorts) were reduced by offsetting cash balances denominated in the corresponding foreign currencies.

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, a 10% increase or decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies would have no meaningful impact on our investment in SILP.

Interest Rate Risk

The primary market risk exposure for any debt instrument is interest rate risk, including credit spreads. Most of our interest rate risk relates to interest rate derivatives held in SILP, and their value may fluctuate with changes in interest rates.

At December 31, 2023, our investment in SILP includes interest-rate sensitive securities, such as corporate and sovereign debt instruments and interest rate derivatives. A 100 basis points (increase or decrease) in interest rates would result in a $1.6 million gain (2022: $4.4 million) or a $3.5 million (2022: $4.9 million) loss, respectively, to our investment in SILP.

We, along with DME Advisors, monitor the net exposure to interest rate risk and generally do not expect changes in interest rates to have a materially adverse impact on our operations.

Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time. Our system contains self-monitoring mechanisms, and actions are taken to correct deficiencies as they are identified.

Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the system of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in the Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the 2013 framework). Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our system of internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2023.

Deloitte Ltd., an independent registered public accounting firm, which has audited the financial statements included in this Annual Report on 10-K, has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, as required under this Item 9A, which is included herein.

We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and

expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Greenlight Capital Re, Ltd.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Greenlight Capital Re, Ltd. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows, for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes and the schedules listed in the Index at Item 18 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 5, 2024, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

We did not audit the financial statements of Solasglas Investments, LP, an equity method investment of the Company, as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and for each of the two years in period ended December 31, 2023. The Company’s investment in Solasglas Investments, LP as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $258.9 million and $178.2 million, respectively, and its equity in net income of Solasglas Investments, LP was $28.7 million and $54.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. The financial statements of Solasglas Investments, LP were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Solasglas Investments, LP, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Loss and loss adjustment expense reserves - Refer to Notes 2 and 7 to the consolidated financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

The Company’s estimate of loss and loss adjustment expense reserves is derived using expected trends in claim severity and frequency and other factors that may vary significantly as claims are settled. The estimate is sensitive to significant assumptions, including the initial expected loss ratio and loss development factors. The estimate is also sensitive to the selection of actuarial methods and weighting of these methods applied to project the ultimate losses, the estimation of ultimate reserves associated with catastrophic events, and other factors. Further, not all catastrophic events can be modeled using traditional actuarial methodologies, which increases the degree of judgment needed in estimating loss reserves for such events.

Auditing the Company’s methods, assumptions and best estimate of the cost of the ultimate settlement and administration of claims represented by the incurred but not reported ("IBNR") claims included in recorded Loss and loss adjustment expense reserves involved especially subjective auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the involvement of our actuarial specialists.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to loss and loss adjustment expense reserves included the following, among others

•We tested the effectiveness of controls over the valuation of the recorded loss and loss adjustment expense reserves, including the review and approval process that management has in place for significant actuarial methods and assumptions used and the approval of management’s best estimate of loss and loss adjustment expense reserves.

•We tested the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data that served as the basis for the Company’s actuarial analysis, including historical claims data, to test the reasonableness of key inputs to the actuarial estimate.

•With the assistance of our actuarial specialists:

–We independently developed an estimate of the reserves for selected contracts, compared our estimates to those booked by the Company, and evaluated the differences.

–We evaluated the Company’s methodologies against recognized actuarial practices for the remaining contracts. We also evaluated the assumptions used by the Company using our industry knowledge and experience and other analytical procedures.

–We compared the results of the quarterly reserve studies prepared by independent external actuaries to management’s best estimate and evaluated the differences.

It is the longest chain of item headings that runs forward through both the document and the standard item order: 23 headings are on that chain and 17 further heading-shaped lines are not — the table-of-contents echo of every item, cross-references and exhibit-list mentions.
